String Lake River

Through the magnificent array of colors and creatures that call our national park home, hurries the beautiful flow of clear cool water, washing away the old and feeding the new. An extra burst of life seems to leave the shore laden with an unusual energy, the kind of feeling that the natural power of the earth is still the greatest and most awesome thing there is. Step into this place and have your fears, worries, and doubts blasted into oblivion. String Lake is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming. The natural lake is located at the outflow of Leigh Lake. A small wetland area is on the northwest side of the lake and is prime moose habitat. A short half mile (.8 km) long creek connects String Lake to Jenny Lake to the south. The origin of the name "Teton" is not definitive. One possible origin is that it was the name given by French trappers in the area. ("Tetons" means breasts in French) Another possible source is that the mountains derive their name from the names of one of tribes in the Sioux Nation.
